Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), which can navigate and perform tasks without human intervention, are rapidly incorporating GPU-powered Vision AI systems. In dynamic warehouse settings, Vision AI helps AMRs adapt and learn diverse tasks such as route optimization, load management, inventory level monitoring, and predictive maintenance. By making warehouse operations more streamlined and reliable, Vision AI-guided AMRs are contributing to improved operational efficiency and safety while reducing labor costs. Analyzing visual data in real-time takes powerful computing and equally powerful connectivity. That’s where BitFlow and its parent company, Advantech come in. BitFlow has announced that its Cyton™ and Claxon™ CoaXPress (CXP) frame grabbers are now fully compatible with Advantech’s Edge AI inference systems built on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin platform. The BitFlow Linux AArch64 (64-bit ARM) SDK enables seamless integration of its frame grabbers with the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit. Together, the BitFlow and Advantech hardware form a foundation for faster, more accurate Vision AI solutions in ARMs. BitFlow CXP frame grabbers transfer camera data at rates up to 12.5GB/second over a single 75-ohm coaxial cable, or up to a staggering 50GB/second when four cables are aggregated using a quad link model. Besides data, control commands and triggers can be sent simultaneously to the camera with trigger accuracy of +/- 2 nanoseconds, along with supplying 13W Power over CXP (PoCXP) with SafePower™. Isolating power with PoCXP means cameras connected to a BitFlow frame grabber are not subjected to electrical interference from neighboring motors that drive the AMR. In addition, CXP cables can generally run up to 40 meters (131 feet), which helps system designers install cameras on the ARM in the best possible way and gets around the distance drawbacks of other protocols. With the iModule expansion PCIe slot, the Advantech AIR-030 and MIC-733-AO AI Inference System Boxes provide plug-and-play connectivity with BitFlow’s x8 PCI Express Gen 3.0 frame grabbers.As a result of this connectivity, Time to Market and associated development costs for AMR manufacturers can be significantly reduced.

Schreiner ProTech develops mobile “Free Fall” feasibility test for its robust RFID-labels portfolio

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 13:41:42 +0000

Tester showcases proof of concept for company’s series of protective labels for RFID chips deployed in harsh production and supply chain environments, enabling reliable readability in electronic, automotive and industrial settings. Schreiner ProTech has developed a compact, mobile demonstration module designed to showcase the exceptional resilience of its proprietary Robust RFID-Labels technology. In designing the demonstration unit, nicknamed the “Free Fall,” Schreiner ProTech engineers sought to create a system that displayed – vividily and memorably – the resilience and persistent functionality of its Robust RFID-Labels. The result was a stress test that, while appearing simple, considers a variety of real-world applications and scenarios. At its core, the transparent unit showcases a series of “smash tests” – the gravitational equivalent of an automobile crash test – in which objects of various weights are dropped from differing heights. Crucially, the unit allows ample room to test products with a range of shapes and sizes, allowing Schreiner ProTech engineers to simulate the impact stress of real-world manufacturing, handling and supply chain scenarios. Designed at the Schreiner Competence Center Services, the demonstrator has drawn parallels to a miniature guillotine: Operating a lever activates a mechanism that causes a weight to fall on the RFID chip from a defined height. Between each test, chips are read to affirm their enduring functionality. The unit’s simplicity also offers portability: less than a meter in height and weighing roughly 10 kilograms, the demonstrator is compact enough to be displayed at trade shows, allowing a broad set of potential customers to witness first-hand how durable the Robust RFID-Labels truly are. “Our customers expect absolute reliability even under harsh conditions,” said Johannes Becker, Head of the Schreiner Competence Center LogiData. “We wanted to make this key differentiator of our Robust RFID-Labels tangible in a fun, instantly impressionable fashion.” Schreiner ProTech’s Robust RFID labels consist of an integrated RFID tag secured via the label’s special construction. This avoids potential damage to the RFID chip due to mechanical impact during the manufacturing and handling processes, or harsh environments during the shipping, warehousing or operation phases. The result is more reliable RFID chip performance from production to final use – even on difficult-to-label containers. Notably, Schreiner ProTech can offer customized label design to suit individual applications and manufacturing setups. The Robust RFID-Labels utilize protective elements designed to systematically absorb mechanical stress. Customizable to the specific mechanical stress conditions encountered by individual customers, the thin, flexible structures are suitable for use with all RFID technologies and antenna geometries. They are easily incorporated into a broad range of production scenarios.

YOKE Bolsters global stock of eye self-locking hooks

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 14:45:58 +0000

YOKE Industrial Corp. has combined with global channel partners to stock more Grade 100 Eye Self-Locking Hooks at the point of use than ever before. YOKE supplies lifting chain fittings, swivel hoist hooks, shackles, angular contact swivels, wire rope clips, and lifting points. The Grade 100 X-025 line was launched in 2010; the Eye Self-Locking Hook is available from 1.4t to 26.5t capacity, and is used in industries such as construction, material handling, mining, mould and die, and oil and gas. The manufacturer has gradually expanded the Eye Self-Locking Hook series, covering various capacities and application scenarios, continuously upgrading products and filling in the specification range to meet market demand. The X-025 is extremely light and specifically designed for use with 6mm to 26mm Grade 100 chain slings, thus, reducing the burden on field workers and improving ease of use. Channel partners typically stock Eye Self-Locking Hooks for integration into complete sling assemblies. A self-locking hook is designed to increase safety by automatically securing the load being lifted. The locking mechanism prevents the accidental release of the load during slack conditions, reducing risk and injury. This feature adds an extra layer of protection for the operator that a standard spring latch hook does not have, as it relies purely on a manually locking spring latch. The trigger design has been recently enhanced to be more user-friendly; a simple push button opens the trigger mechanism. The operator can now avoid any potential finger or hand injuries associated with other traditional hooks when carrying out overhead lifting operations. The X-025 provides at least 25% greater working load limit (WLL) than Grade 80 products, allowing for lighter rigging and extended lifespan. While the product is proof tested to 2.5 times WLL, a certified design factor of 4:1 indicates a minimum breaking strength of four times. Other features include a patented self-locking mechanism for safety, high-visibility coating, and a wear-resistant bushing for durability. These Eye Self-Locking Hooks are also certified to EN 1677-3, ASME B30.26, and DGUV GS-OA-15-05 — delivering peace of mind and workplace safety to end users across the world. Hardware, software combination YOKE’s lifting products all include BlueSupra radio frequency identification (RFID) chips. Through the utilization of RFID, end users of lifting and other equipment can keep up with today’s rigorous requirements. By moving to paperless systems, companies can improve the accuracy of maintenance, safety checks, incident reports, and regulatory compliance, while supporting seamless information sharing. Additionally, YOKE’s complete range of lifting and rigging products are now equipped with Digital Product Passports (DPP), as the industry conforms to the European Union’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). End users can utilise a DPP throughout the product lifecycle — from production and testing to usage and even retirement — all through RFID technology and YOKE’s unique digital systems. Beyond paperless checks, wider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals are supported through traceability and accountability. Steven Hong, president at YOKE, said: “Positioning more Grade 100 Eye Self-Locking Hooks at the point of use dovetails with a wider strategy that goes beyond rigging hardware. YOKE plays a key role in accelerating product digitalisation and is essential to the success of this digital shift. We are working with channel partners to promote our product value and brand philosophy across more vertical industries and application areas — X-025 is central to that movement.” As YOKE distributors remind all end users, it is important to follow a number of guidelines when using an Eye Self-Locking Hook, such as making sure the hook is fully closed before lifting; a visual inspection is conducted before and after application; RFID is utilised to check inspection logs; and side-loading is avoided. YOKE’s Grade 100 Eye Self-Locking Hooks are made from quenched and tempered alloy steel.
